Polk replaces Oxford Reference with Credo

In an effort to improve its on-line reference tools, Polk Library recently replaced its Oxford Reference subscription with Credo Reference. Credo provides quick access to hundreds of highly regarded encyclopedias, dictionaries, thesauri and more, all from an easy-to-search interface. Of particular note are its extensive topic pages (over 16,000!): great for students looking for an overview on their topic before beginning their research.

Polk is confident that Credo will provide a better experience for most users with an easier search interface and an end to hits for materials for which Polk has no access. This has been a perennial problem for some time.
